Does anyone else think this looks simpler to scratch?
Check out this artical.
Look at the blocks, seem simplier? Did they steal it from scratch?
EDIT: OPPS! Sorry, forgot the link: Click

Scratch's blocks are essentially java blocks but put into a simple programming language.

Article? Ohh cool article. Yeah that does look simpler 
Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

Re: Does anyone else think this looks simpler to scratch?
They definitely took that from Scratch.
(Actually, they might have taken that from Elements.)

Something included with BYOB. (In case you don't know what that is, it's a Scratch Mod.)

Re: Does anyone else think this looks simpler to scratch?
They don't look much simpler, about the same in complexity.
I don't think Scratch was the first to use that block design either (correct me if I'm wrong please).

Re: Does anyone else think this looks simpler to scratch?
I've used it, it is simpler but the only think you can really do is put images in and put in buttons that switch images or make sounds play, or make calculators. You can't make animations or games.

I like how that lady is so proud of herself while us kids are creating games and animations.

Re: Does anyone else think this looks simpler to scratch?
There was an article posted on this months ago. Google did reference Scratch as one of it's inspirations.

Re: Does anyone else think this looks simpler to scratch?
It's been out for a while. Actually, they did copy Scratch. I think there's an about page that says "Inspired by MIT's Lifelong Kindergarden's Scratch.
